My message to the local shelter heads taking illegal & retaliatory actions against volunteers

In my opinion this is one of the most important videos I’ve ever made. Yes, it is a rant. But yes, it is very important. If you are a volunteer, rescuer, shelter staff member or even a manager then please consider what is being said here.

City Council meetings for San Bernardino are the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, the next being 1/21. Councilman John Valdivia oversees the ward where the shelter is located.

City Council meetings for Rancho Cucamonga are the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, the next being 1/16.

L.A. County, to the best of my knowledge, doesn’t do City Council meetings. You’d instead need to go directly to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, also known as “the 5 little kings.” They appointed Marcia Mayeda, who oversees all of the county shelters, including Carson. She was responsible for firing Ric Browde, head volunteer at Baldwin Park, simply because he voiced his own opinion on his personal blog.

Shelter retaliation against volunteers is illegal, unconstitutional.
